On March 26, 2025, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the Italian partnership of the CRISTAL Project — financed under the Horizon programme — had the opportunity to present one of the project’s results: the “Manifesto for the Sustainable Development of the Padano-Veneto Inland Waterway System”.
This important document, developed through a dedicated Living Lab, gathers data and feedback from Italian stakeholders, outlining short- and medium-term actions for a long-term strategic vision for the development of the inland waterway network.
